Sinus is the cavity in the skull bone that communicates with the nostrils and contains air and mucus. In case of an infection of the nasal area, air and mucus can get trapped and collect in the sinus cavity causing painful infections.

Sinus is generally divided into frontal (the brow area), maxillary (inside the cheekbones), ethmoid (between the eyes), sphenoid (upper region of the nose behind the eyes).

Symptoms of Sinus That Can be Cured by Natural Treatments:

– Gnawing pain around the brow area.

– A feeling of heaviness around the eyes and nose. Heaviness felt with head movement.

– Stuffiness and pressure in the face and eyes.

– Upper jaw and tooth pain.

– Teary eye with swollen eyelids.

– Awakening in the morning with a headache. The head feels stuffed up making it difficult to breathe through the nose.

– A persistent cough during bedtime.

– Runny or congested nose.

– Severe infections may lead to fevers and chills.

Natural Treatments Cure Sinus Caused by:

– Viral infection.

– Dry air dries out the mucus which normally traps allergens and dust particles. Winter dry air therefore often leads to sinus infections. Sinus infections are on the rise during winter seasons.

– A low immunity level makes the body more susceptible to triggers that cause upper respiratory and sinus infections.

Types of Sinus:

Sinusitis in its acute form is of a sudden onset. It affects the individual rapidly and can elapse on its own. Most home remedies work for this type of sinusitis.

Chronic sinusitis generally lasts for a longer period and is difficult to treat.

Sinusitis can be infections caused by bacterial growth. The mucus turns green in this form of infection.

Noninfectious type is caused by environmental factors and generally subsides when the triggers are eliminated.
